Benjamin B.

Private tutor in Toronto, Canada

Education

I earned an MFA in Creative Writing from George Mason University in 2017. I also earned an M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction: ESL PK-12 from George Mason University in 2012. Prior to that I completed a B.A. in International Studies at the University of Richmond in 2007.

Experience

Hi! I'm Ben. I love tutoring, especially in reading and writing. I have an M.Ed. in teaching ESL, as well as an MFA in Creative Writing. I taught middle school English for four years in Virginia, and I also taught undergraduate composition and literature for another three years. I've tutored university and graduate school applicants on their application essays to US and Canadian schools for three application seasons. I have a broad knowledge and understanding of many social science and liberal arts subjects, and I can support your writing on almost any topic. How do I know? Because I've helped so many people become better readers and writers already.

Hobbies

I have a very student-centered teaching philosophy, so I like to tailor sessions to each individual student's needs. Because of my wide and long-ranging experience with students of all levels, I can tutor virtually any area of English language, reading, writing or conversation. I love building relationships with both kids and adults, and I love finding ways to connect with them! I believe in having fun and being flexible, while still being goal-oriented. I love creative writing and I'm not so bad at it. You can find more about me at my LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-brezner/
